    If I understand the proposal this would require nearlylO times the initial investment than the
    100:1 presently in place. This would eliminate the small guy, like me. This greatly saddens
    me, in that I've been practing for some time now and am very close to getting in for live
    trading. But if this proposal goes through, not only I but thousands of others will be forced out.
    I just don't understand any positive aspects for the proposed change. Are there some?
    Please, please do not make the change.
